Details
What this service does
We perform a structured bench check to quickly narrow down the cause of your issue and tell you, in plain English, what’s wrong and what it will cost to fix.
- Visual inspection and symptom review
- Power-on/POST verification
- Storage SMART and RAM short tests
- Quick health review of Windows event logs
You’ll receive a clear written estimate with options before any repair begins.
Tip: If symptoms are intermittent, only appear under load, or you suspect a hardware fault we can’t reproduce quickly, we may recommend Hardware Diagnostics (Extended) for deeper testing.
Good signs you need this
- Blue screens, no-boot, or random restarts
- Device is unusually slow or freezes
- You suspect a hardware issue but aren’t sure which part is failing
Turnaround
Most basic diagnostics are same day. Timing depends on queue, updates, and whether symptoms appear during testing.
What to bring
- Your device and charger/power lead
- Any relevant passwords (e.g., Windows login)
- A short description of the issue and when it started
After the diagnosis
We’ll explain the findings and give you transparent options (repair, upgrade, or data-first). You choose the path forward—no pressure and no hidden costs. If you approve a repair, the diagnostic fee may be credited at our discretion.
